Keynoter Announced for F&B, Hospitality & Industrial/Workwear Conference

Posted December 10, 2021 at 11:21 am



Peter Ricchiuti, a Wall Street investment visionary and professor at Tulane University, will keynote at the Inaugural TRSA F&B, Hospitality and Industrial/Workwear Conference on Feb. 2-3, 2022, in New Orleans. Ricchiuti will outline what’s ahead for the economy and what the financial markets are telling us about the outlook for the linen, uniform and facility services industry.

Crafted especially for executives and upper management of plants serving the F&B, hospitality, and industrial/workwear market sectors, the TRSA multi-conference will provide a solid agenda including combined general sessions, such as a Standards & Regulation Update from TRSA’s Vice President of Government Relations Kevin Schwalb; industry-specific supply chain research presented by Mark Bonn, Ph.D., retired Florida State University professor;  and a closing operator panel that crosses the three segments.

Separating into three tracks allows attendees to delve deeper into information and research specific to their market segment. In-depth trends of F&B, hotel and industrial/manufacturing will be shared by specialists to each group. TRSA has engaged Yes&, a marketing agency, to collect and analyze consumer and business-to-business (B2B) research and to develop messaging materials. The market-specific results will be co-presented with an industry executive and a Yes& representative, offering insights and opportunity areas for each market segment. Facilitated small-group discussions focusing on the F&B, hospitality and industrial/workwear markets will round out the separate tracks.

Networking opportunities include mingling with industry executives across all three market segments at the welcome reception, as well as Dine Around New Orleans, an option to choose from one of seven New Orleans local and fine-dining establishments to meet up with conference attendees for an evening of connecting, conversing and cuisine.

The final day will offer three plant tours including Loop Linen, an F&B/hospitality plant, a manufacturing tour, plus an optional plant tour of supplier partner Pellerin Milnor. Click here for more details and to register for the Inaugural F&B, Hospitality & Industrial/Workwear Conference.
